While the college basketball world is being rocked by the FBI, the 2017-18 season is still fast approaching, with only a month and a half until opening tip. Big Ten media day will be Oct. 20 in New York, and Maryland will send a contingency of head coach Mark Turgeon and sophomore guards Anthony Cowan and Kevin Huerter.
The Terps will be one of only two Big Ten teams (alongside Penn State) to have no upperclassmen representatives, and it makes sense. Cowan and Huerter are Maryland’s second- and third-leading returning scorers, behind fellow sophomore Justin Jackson. With Melo Trimble graduated, the trio hopes to make a collective leap in its second season.
Here’s the full list of the 35 student-athletes who will be at Madison Square Garden for the event.
